Amanda reviews: Sprout Watches

I feel like everyone is on a watch kick lately. Now I can take part in the trend, thanks to my new Sprout watch. However unlike most watches out there, mine is eco-friendly! I am excited to review my new watch for Magnifeco.

Although no one would notice any difference, my Sprout watch is made out of corn resin instead of synthetic plastic; corn resin is a biodegradable renewable resource. My watch contains a mercury-free battery. As Sprout’s website promises, my watch remained completely intact without any sign of wear and tear throughout my trial period of 3 weeks.

I also really love the design of this watch. Mine has a wooden bezel which gives the watch a natural touch, especially with the Mother of Pearl face. (Plus I happen to be kind of nuts for Mother of Pearl…) It can easily be dressed up or down depending on what you are up to. I love the way it feels around my wrist – it doesn’t stab me or pull at my arm hairs. It has a butterfly closure that is easy to open and close (There is no longer a need to ask your roommate to help you do up your watch!!)
